Seated comfortably beneath a Willow Tree as it sways along with the rhythm of the wind, I gaze blankly at the plain grassy-green canvas ahead of me as if I was waiting for something to happen or someone to appear.

Seconds of just staring ahead had miraculously turned into minutes as time felt like it was moving in slow motion here. Closing my unblinkingly watery eyes, I let the after image play in many colors as I focused on the dark parts — that was, until something so bright from beyond my lids had turns my dark sight all amber red. Somewhat like that burning red in photos.

Squinting my eyes open, I couldn't make anything out from the blurriness but at least the damn light is gone. Finally being able to make out the bland shapes in front of me, I sighed out of a sense of emptiness. I don't know how long I've been sitting here in the windy shadows, but I know I'm sick of this dull setting.

Alone and silent, save the music of the wind.

I want someone to share my life with. Someone who would laugh as I joke around with my usual sense of humour, someone to understand my emotions, someone who would quell my boredom.

"Someone like me?"

I whipped my head to the source of the velvety voice, curious and mildly interested to see who had sneaked up on me without even having my senses alarm me.

It was the most beautiful woman I've ever laid my eyes on.

Beauty varies and the ultimate definition of beauty has many opinions, but she was the epitome of beauty for me. It wasn't that her eyes held the vastness of the universe nor was it the way her blood tint of her lips that captured my appreciation for her — it was the way she had touched my cheek. A gentle and light caress that instantly gave me a sense of security — that everything that have ever hurt me, didn't — and warmth that had spread throughout me like the sun was shinning on my soul.

I was going to reach out for her hand, but then the most horrendous sound had reached my ears and it was none other than the melody of someone puking their guts out.

Turns out, it was her — (Name) — that was now puking on me.

Levi gasped aloud as his eyes snapped open into reality as his dream turned nightmare slowly deteriorates from his memory.

"What was I dreaming about..." He asks himself through a whisper as he lays there and tries to recollect his memories whilst staring at the white ceiling, but was then interrupted by a familiar treacherous sound of upchucking.

Immediately looking to where you were suppose to be sleeping soundly at, he dashed to the origin of the sound when he had found an empty space next to him with worry seeping into his skin as the seconds filled with vomiting sounds pass by.

What he saw and smelt made him crinkle up his nose and squint his eyes in disgust but nonetheless, held up his fiancée's hair so it wouldn't have bits of puke in them when he had reached the bathroom.

You continued to purge and gag until you felt as if nothing could come up anymore other than stomach juice and blood. Slumping down onto the immaculate toilet floor with a groan, you wiped away the little tears collected on the side of your waterline as it was produced due to the stinging of your throat when you were throwing everything up from yesterday.

Levi flushed the toilet after placing the cover down and you on top of it. He then proceeded to wet a couple tissues and had helped your exhausted state clean up to the best of his abilities.

"Did you eat something wrong or what?" He asked you monotonously as he places a hand onto your forehead to feel your temperature, but through the jaded state of mind you had, you could still see the worry in his eyes ; and that made you feel slightly better.

"No...I just feel horrible. " You whined loudly as you could still feel the previous wave of nausea along with your stinging throat.

"C'mon. "

Levi carried you like the sick little bride-to-be you were out from the bathroom and back onto your shared bed. He felt as if a wooden stake had stabbed him in his heart repeatedly when he felt your fragile looking figure tremble like a helpless baby bunny.

Laying you down gently, he placed the blanket over your body in hopes to keep you warm.

"Where're you going?" You mildly yelled anxiously as you sat up in a swift motion that had caused your entire brain to follow suit. Hence, a stroke of headache had momentarily been unleashed.

Groaning once more, you laid back down slowly with closed eyes.

"Tch. I'm just gonna get you something warm so don't move. " He orders with a stern look before disappearing behind doors.

Kindness and worry all dressed up in a dapper suit of annoyance.

"How cute. " you grinned like a Cheshire but it had fallen soon after another wave of — thankfully, mild — nausea hit you again.

Why am I so queasy?!

You hadn't eaten anything that was pass their expiry date, nor have you caught any sickness. At least not that you were aware of since Levi was so particular about anything that could harm our cleanliness.

Pondering on until your eyes started to burn due to not blinking, it had finally hit you like a truck T-boning a car.

You gasped exasperatedly and frantically looked for your phone, completely pushing away the urge to upchuck as it was not as important as finding out the obvious truth.

Sunday, 10 May

You were late. Really late.

The obvious urge to panic, cry and scream had all crashed together at the same time and you couldn't help but hyperventilate a little ; until your phone had started to ring after a minute of it.

"Hello?"

"Ah, (Name). I was double confirming for this Friday's dinner. It's still a yes, right?" A man's voice who you've heard more than a thousand times, had asked.

"Ye-Yeah! " you answered with a nervous giggle.

"Are you alright?" Concern was very present in his tone, unlike Levi who tends to express it through his eyes instead. Something that only a trained professional, family or an observant lover can detect.

"Uhm...actually, could I ask you for a favour?"

"Anything for you, dear. "

You could hear his smile from the other end and that had made you even more nervous.

•••

"Why're you so fidgety?" Levi asks with suspicion the second he placed a tray that contained a bowl of chicken noodle soup on it, on your blanketed lap.

"Nothing! I'm not hiding anything at all! " you laughed nervously as you looked anywhere else but his sharp eyes.

"(Name). " He says with all seriousness written in his tone and glare.

"I'm-"

Just as you were about to continue on, the doorbell rang.

Levi left you to your own for now as he went to open the door. Quietly, you panicked as you hurried the tray onto the table next to you and out the room to stop Levi ; but no avail as it was too late for he had already opened the front door.

"Erwin?"

"Good afternoon, Levi. I'm here for (Name). " Erwin said calmly as he looked at Levi excitedly, to which Levi did the opposite of and glared at him from below.

"No. "

"But she asked for me. "

"What for? To get tips on how to obtain overgrown eyebrows?" Levi scoffs and rolls his eyes whereas Erwin could feel his patience wearing thin for the man who thought of him as competition — although there shouldn't have been any in the first place.

"I could fire you. "

"And I could beat the shit back into your rectum from your mouth. "

"Erwin!" You shouted with a gasp and ran towards him, ignoring the startled and angry Levi at the door as you pulled Erwin into the bathroom and locked it.

"Gimme!" You whisper-screamed with large eyes and had grabbed the plastic bag — much like a starving vulture who found his life source — out of his large hand.

"You're welcome. " he sighs with a smile.

"Thank you! " you hugged him briefly before continuing on, "Now, get out unless you want to see my bottom half, naked and doing things that a step-brother doesn't ever need to see. " You smiled up at him in that oh-so-angelic aura and let's just say he was out faster than the time when Levi spotted the new and improved Tide wash.

Just as Levi was about to stomp his way towards the two, Erwin had came out — with disgust and discomfort written all over his expression — in a flash.

"OI! What was-"

"Nothing. If you'll excuse me, I have to leave now. See you at work tomorrow, Levi!" Erwin said in a frenzy without even taking a breath of air as he speed walks himself out of your shared home.

Levi felt anger bubbling within him like a volcano that's about to erupt.

Turning towards the direction of the bathroom where you were hidden in, he took long strides. Each step having his suspicion, curiosity and anger rising. He was about to kick down the door, but then he heard an audible click and out came a very timid you.

"Sa-Say..." You started out weak with the test result hidden behind your back, in the grip of your sweaty palms.

"Spit it out. " he glared at you with arms crossed.

Without another moment of doubt, you came clean to Levi and showed it to him.

The double lines on the pregnancy test.

"...Really?" Levi whispered out in disbelief and shock.

You nodded with your head hung low and eyes squeezed shut, afraid of his response.

Smiling wholehearted yet at the same time awkwardly, he felt like an idiot for getting mad at his soon-to-be wife. Tipping your head upwards, he held your cheek gently and then engaged in a passionate affair of kissing.

"Happy Mother's Day, (Name)." He says as he recollects his breath. Soon after a moment of heavy breathing and tearing up at his acceptance, you kissed once more.

"I told you that condom was too small for my-"

"Levi!"

He smirks.

IT'S MOTHER'S DAY Y'ALL

SO I PRESENT TO YOU LE MDS (Mother's day special)

△△△

Carrying a child is something magical, yet painful.

If you're ever wavering in the future (or right now), just know that in a couple months/weeks, your baby boy/girl is going to be born.

I've never understood why mothers (and fathers) go through so much for their child, but slowly, I've been able to see from their perspective of how precious their little baby is to them. Because no matter how old you are or what your profession or whatever are, your mom (and dad) is going to love you like you're still in diapers.
